Now I can't even get to mount at all :-(

After I request Device->Insert Guest Additions ISO, it won't
automatically mount (of course).
so I try manually mounting it:

sudo mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom/
mount: unknown filesystem type 'iso9660'

So, at least I can use scp to transfer files...

Sigh.
